SPIES AND SHADOWS

“Looks like a balloon, doesn’t it, Speck?”

Lily and Speck stared up at the full yellow moon hanging over the Gulf. They were both sitting on their front porch. Sharon Blue was busy in the kitchen, making fudge and baking cookies for the upcoming holidays. Lily stared down at a blank pad of paper. She was trying to make sense of the mysterious vanishing bicycle. Speck squatted on the pad, blinking importantly. Lily chewed the cap of her pen. The smell of the fudge made her hungry.

Earlier that night she had spent an hour searching the Internet for information on Solomon Island skinks. She discovered the skinks were extremely picky eaters. They prefered hibiscus blossoms, pothos plants, and hard-boiled eggs. But they wouldn’t eat a hibiscus two days in a row. Solomon Islanders liked variety in their meals.

Maybe a giant chameleon ate the thief and the bike and is living on the roof of the River Bridge walkway. Lily shook her head. That’s just the fudge getting to me.

Lily thought back to everything she had heard and seen after the mysterious bike zoomed down the stairs inside the Biology Building. She also remembered what the guard Pat had told her mother while they stood on the River Bridge. Lily wrote a list of names.
